The footbridge, lifts, accessible routes between trains arriving and the branch - is this all complete now? I was asked yesterday by someone who is not totally good with stairs - and back in the summer found it a 'mare.

No, not yet.  Probably a couple of months until the footbridge is fully open as a footbridge but the lifts themselves are dependent on power being supplied which appears not to be as straightforward as would be thought.

Temporary stairs from car park closed today, with new stairs from platform fully open.  Lifts still pending.

A confession, have not been west of Truro since Feb, can someone update the status of the lifts at St Erth? The season is approaching it'll be maddening if they aren't in service when peak loads appear.

Lifts still not commissioned. Bus from down side to upside/branch has been booked for the summer season.
